MiniMastermux
Rasnik is a wide range, high precision alignment monitoring system, developed at NIKHEF.


The MiniMasterMux is a prototype of the combination of MasterMux and USA15Mux. The MasterMux will have 16 channels, the MiniMasterMux handles 4 RasMuxes (version 2 only). The MMX directly connects to the framegrabber and is controlled via the PC's serial port. It switches the power to the RasMuxes, thus reducing power dissipation on the chambers further (RasMux_V2 dissipates far less than V1).
To connect a MasterMux, the MiniMastermux must be modified (hardware and firmware). A sticker mastermux compatible indicates this modification. One can still connect RasMuxes directly to the MiniMastermux at the same time. On the MasterMux, the jumper must be set to MMX. You also need a new version of Icaras.
The MMX measures 19 * 19 * 6 cm (twice the size of the MasterBrico). It needs a single power supply of 24V, 1A.
